Hello and welcome to my website.

I'm Chris Heaton-Harris, one of the six Members of the European Parliament (MEP), elected to represent the people of the East Midlands of England in the European Parliament.

I believe that my job as an MEP should involve you. I am here to represent the people of the East Midlands in the European Union (EU), not to represent the EU in the East Midlands.

Your views are important to me, so use the interactive features of this website to let me know what you think. You can also register to receive regular updates from me.

And, of course, you can explore this website at your leisure - feel free to send me any comments or suggestions that you may have.

LATEST UPDATE: MY CURRENT WORK IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 

Speeches

My speeches in the European Parliament are now available online on my YouTube site (see below)

Budget 2009

Read my analysis of the EU's draft Budget for 2009 here

Opportunity for Small Businesses

If you are a small business in the East Midlands, I would strongly urge you to follow this link - the European Commission is holding a consultation about which EU regulations are most damaging to business, and so this is your chance to tell them which bits of EU red tape need cutting - don't waste this chance! http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/admin-burdens-reduction/form_en.htm

 

Protection of children on the internet

I am currently writing a report in the Parliament on how to best protect our children from possible dangers on the internet, including child pornography and sexual abuse, the threat of grooming, and the growth in cyber-bullying. Read about the excellent work that is being done to combat this - and how I hope to build on that success - in the Policy section of the website.

 

Wind farms and the natural environment

I am currently working with a number of local groups around the East Midlands about proposed wind farms in their area. You can read about my general thoughts on wind energy here and one specific example, in Hanging Houghton, here.
